Unzen Iwaki Ryokan, Famous Hot Spring Inn

The stay included dinner and breakfast, and it was luxurious for the price. The Onsen's water quality was excellent (even healed my insect bites). The Room was spacious and comfortable. It would have been better if the souvenir shop had been open regularly, as it seemed to be usually closed.

The building has a historical feel to it. Since we chose a Plan without dinner, we tried to use nearby eateries, but many were closed on Mondays, which was inconvenient. A Plan with dinner is recommended. There are two baths; the one with an open-air bath was too hot to enter. The indoor bath is a sulfur spring with a texture that clings to your skin and is unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. There is Jigokudani (Jigokudani) nearby, which you can walk to. The sweet potato yokan at the souvenir shop across the street is delicious and recommended. Breakfast was delicious as well; I would consider repeating my stay here.
